For Parents: Is Tabby Arcade Safe?

Tabby Arcade is made for kids, and we built it so a parent can say yes to it quickly. Here are straight answers to the questions parents ask most.

Is it safe?

We wrote a seven-point checklist for any kids' game site. Here is how Tabby Arcade answers each point.

No chat. There's no chat of any kind: no messages, no comments, no friend lists and no profiles.
No accounts or sign-up. Every game opens and plays straight away. No game asks a child for a name, an email address or a password.
Ads clearly labeled, and never over the game. Any ad space is labeled "Advertisement" and sits beside or below a game, never over it.
No pop-ups. Nothing pops up and nothing opens new windows on its own.
Nothing to buy. Every game is free, and none of them sells anything.
A plain privacy page. Our privacy policy says in plain words what we collect and what we don't.
No downloads or extensions. Every game runs in the browser, with nothing to install.

Very little, and nothing that names your child.

No cookies, no accounts and no ad network. The site sets no cookies, and no ad company sees your visit.
Visit counts on our own server. We count things like which games are played and how fast pages load, with counts that don't identify anyone by name. No analytics company sees them, no IP address is stored with them, and they're deleted after about 13 months.
Server logs for security. Like almost every website, our hosting keeps standard request logs, which include the IP address. They're deleted after about 7 days.
Progress stays on your device. Most games save levels and scores in this browser's local storage. We can't see it.
The form on this page keeps your name, email address and message so we can reply, and the copy in our database is deleted after 24 months. See our privacy policy.

The privacy policy has the full details, including the privacy choices you can make and how to ask us to delete anything.

Every ad is labeled "Advertisement," so a child can tell an ad from the game.
Never over the game. Ad spaces sit beside or below the game, never on top of it and never in the middle of play.
No pop-ups, no sticky ads that follow you down the page, and no ads that pretend to be part of a game.
Only our own games today. Right now every ad space shows a house promo for one of our own games. No ad network runs on the site.
